I hope everyone is doing well thru all these storms, praying for the people who lost all, as Irma decided to swing by my house to say hello she was not a very good guest, and trashed my house a bit, so waiting on repairs, and electricity. I have been lucky with a friend who is letting me use his house to stay till mine is livable.

The power people are doing an amazing job! With help coming from every state.

Has anyone heard from Mighty Fish? He lives in the Tamp/St Pete area I think

Dear milorafferty:

Thanks for inquiring.

We spent a long, dark night in a "safe room" (an interior closet) as the hurricane passed, but my wife and I got through it safely, and thankfully, our home suffered no damage, although we did lose power for almost 20 hours.

Thankfully for our area, the storm took an eastward jog the day of landfall. It was forecast to go right over us, but it wound up going quite a few miles to the east -- although, of course, that was unfortunate for other parts of southwest and central Florida.

Thanks for the many prayers and well-wishes from so many people. Needless to say, that meant a lot.
